Event starts at 6:00 pm

McNamara Alumni Center
200 SE Oak St
Minneapolis, MN 55455

At the core of every great startup is an incredible pitch!

This interactive workshop will focus on best practices for the 60-second pitch (aka The Elevator Pitch).

Seemingly simple, the 60-second pitch can trip up even the most experienced entrepreneur. You never know when you’ll have the opportunity to deliver a concise and captivating pitch to your next customer, investor, co-founder, and beyond.

The only experience required to attend this workshop is bravery and courage! The program will allow participants to practice pitching and receiving feedback in front of each other. Feel free to bring an idea you’ve been noodling OR we will help you create one from scratch!

60-second pitches kick off Startup Weekend Education and preview of the overall agenda for Startup Weekend Education will also be shared at this workshop.

Get the complete experience!
